Hit by car three days before my first 100k

Oh my goodness. I am so happy to hear that you are OK. I think that cars are still the one thing that scares me the most about riding on the road!

Annie, tcars are the only thing you need to worry about riding on the road

RoadTrekkie, get well soon. You will know by Saturday if you are up to riding. it is best to get back into the saddle as soon as you can. Keep us posted!

Wow, glad it wasn't worse RT. Hope you feel better soon!

HOw's it feeling?

Yikes!

How in the world did you NOT get hurt worse? Your guardian angel must really be on the ball there. I'd still get you and the bike checked over thoroughly before you try any long rides.

I hope you're feeling better today.

Well, I did the 100k ride in 5:20. Pretty sad, but I did have a nasty headwind the last 12 miles and there were a lot more hills than either of us expected, four or five pretty nasty ones.

My left knee got pretty whiny, but so far that's the worst for me. The Trek, however, has a possible headset issue that's come up, so I have to get it to a mechanic to add to the costs incurred so far.

Believe me, I can't believe how minor my injuries (or the bike's) were!

sounds like you did great. for someone who doesn't like hills in particular!
I'm really impressed that you got back on and rode after your experience 3 days before. Don't sell yourself short. that's an accomplishment.
